Cheetahs on the Edge - Director's Cut | National Geographic

[@cgirl111]

I find it amazing how the keep their head perfectly aligned during the entire sprint. Eyes on the prize ...

[@MadamOasis]

Can I use this as a caption? Such a beautiful perception

[@cgirl111]

@@MadamOasis Sure - no problem at all.

[@UncarvedBloke]

Anatomy trains! Healthy fascia and healthy anatomy holds the head still with movements. True for humans also

[@RickMHobson]

Absolutely incredible. Left me in tears. This alone is a fantastic argument for preserving these animals in the wild. How could we live in a world where this once had been, but wasn't anymore?

[@PolkiSaMalutkie]

From 6:14 is amazing, you can really sense the speed, the power. I mean, that camera-on-a-rail obviously has to be moving some, but the cheetah just blows past it. Awesome.

[@The_Noticer.]

The accelleration at 6:17 D:

[@angelgirl8533]

I cried. It's so beautiful.

[@BabaShtrumf]

Amazing. The last shots at full speed were breathtaking.

[@nameofthepen]

Absolutely spellbinding six minutes and fifty-one seconds. NatGeo has done it again.

[@emaleefox8119]

cheetah

[@igguhs]

zensational...bookmarked a while ago - I keep coming back...when there's trouble and the world too fast - watching this brings me back

[@angelo3d]

Absolutely beautiful. Top speeds of 96+ Km/h! These felines are amazing, and at slow motion is possible realize that It touches the ground only one paw at a time, while the line of sight remains fixed in the prey.

[@MichaelFearnleyBass]

I love the way it's front claws extend at about 2:40 to seal the deal. Amazing animal!

[@kalyanchatterjee6892]

Praise be to Lord for creating this elegance. We must protect this beautiful animal.

[@madhuniyal]

Amen

[@innertubez]

Cheetahs = Formula I of the animal kingdom!! Slow motion is amazing. It's like the cheetahs are jumping horizontally. Breathtaking. We need to find a way to make sure these beautiful animals are preserved and able to live on our planet.

[@angelo3d]

Actually it's the Formula Indy of animal kingdom. These cars are faster than F1.

[@lubedupduke]

It's not ours

[@igguhs324]

Still the most riveting piece on KZbin - the editing, the music...it is flat out stunning. Thanks. I picked it up just after it first came out...and return to it again and again and again.

[@sprngrdave]

Absolutely Beautiful !! I had tears in my eyes watching the Speed & Power that cat has . Thank You

[@santhosh4474]

It's the music

[@ДжубиДжинчурики]

Until now, I've been without crying for almost a decade, but these Cheetahs...

[@capitanchorizzo]

One long magical moment, the sheer fabulous grace and concentration of this beautiful animal!

[@USDJ2722]

Anybody else get a tear in their eye from just seeing the beauty of it? I did. I also got a laugh when the ball was almost in her grasp and then it sped back up. I swear the look on that cheetahs face was "Oh you little b***ard. No you didn't!"

[@Pipsqwak]

Absolutely sublime! What an exquisite masterpiece of natural selection. Makes you wonder what incredible sights like this we will never see because so many animals are now extinct.

[@horrypong]

Its every step is so powerful and the pose is very elegant. What a wonderful creature and thanks the team from Nat Geo for bringing this magnificent clip to the public

[@isaaclee3926]

Every second is just beautiful...

[@CLEANDrumCovers]

One of my favorite videos of all time.

[@mcrettable]

its head stays completely still.mesmerizing

[@H90M]

woooooow! she blown my mind, amazing! i like it when he said "special thanks to CHEETAHS" XD

[@jayjayplyz3942]

What a beautiful creature❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😊

[@Regina1146]

FUERZA...DESTREZA...INTELIGENCIA... INCREÍBLE ¡¡¡¡

[@hanggara33]

It's like watching a little girl running with ballet dress. So beautiful. Nothing can beat it. Period. :') I often crying when watching this video. Please save these cats for their future.

[@jayjayplyz3942]

Such a beautiful cheetah

[@carolbv4601]

oh my god, incredible!! I love so much this cheetah!! It´s so beautiful! Keep calm and prrrrrrrrrrr

[@TheTonyMcD]

Great video. I love how you added the time lapse of the set up process. It had a very good effect displaying the contrast in high speed of all that was required to set this up just for obtaining only a few precious seconds of the majesty of a cheetah at full stride. Overall, very well done, plus cheetahs are just beautiful examples of the animal kingdom and the power of evolution. I would love to see you do a video like this of a cheetah chasing its natural prey, the gazelle. That would show not only the speed, but the cheetahs phenomenal agility. As well as the gazelle's too, after all they are just as, if not a bit more agile. They need to be in order to wear the cheetah out. Being the fastest animal on the planet does have its drawbacks.

[@Gringa_L]

What looks like a maximum extension of limbs in slow motion is nearly imperceptible movement in real time, it happens so quickly. I've been re-watching this for years. it never gets old.

[@DrJEDful]

Absolutely brilliant! The photography was hypnotic. The sheer beaut of nature in action - poetry in motion. I loved the music, particularly the second half - the African feel was magic. Thanks so much.

[@anshulchauhan7494]

It was so satisfying to watch.... i literally cried..

[@32cityman]

One of the most amazing videos on the internet. Blows me away every time. Amazing animal, amazing nature, amazing planet.

[@Buc1CANE1ers]

Poetry in Motion!

[@rsidney2]

Freakishly amazing how the head keeps perfectly still while the body explodes in action. Probably the most pleasing video I've ever seen.

[@AsuraSKIes]

such a beauty

[@RosiBe2]

Awesome! Total elegance and sheer beauty!!

[@demondescent]

I was thinking the same thing...they are spectacular in every way

[@schalazeal07]

Truly amazing! He was so fast at full speed in the last minutes of the video!

[@schalazeal07]

He was faster than the camera @ 6:14. He made 5 big strides in 1 second! Whoah!!! Amazing!!!
